You have some formatting wrong. You have all the display attributes on 
one line and aren't listing multiple track names separated by a single 
space.

Note from the help docs, it says:
  - "Each *line* defines *one* display attribute."
  - "hide <track_name(s)> - Hides the listed tracks. *Multiple track 
names should be space-separated*."

So you want....

browser position chr1:116243862-116311162
browser pack omimAvSnp knownGene
browser hide mrna intronEst cons46way cons46way.align.vis
browser show wgEncodeReg
track name="Test" description="Track Control Testing" 
colorByStrand="255,0,0 0,0,255"
....
